All Saints Socks
Description: As an artist who likes to draw and paint spooky things, I've mostly stayed away from depicting other people's characters. Then in the summer of 2015 I had this idea to do a series of portraits of characters that I like from movies and books centered around Halloween, and by mid-October I had completed 5. This is Billy Butcherson from the Disney Halloween classic movie "Hocus Pocus".
Description: Saint Conrad of Constance, from a 19th Century Swiss holy card. The text below the saint reads "St. Conradus, OPN" or "ora pro nobis". In English is reads "St. Conrad, pray for us". St. Conrad is depicted with a spider hanging over a chalice. During Mass one day a spider dropped into the chalice of Precious Blood; though Conrad believed all spiders were poisonous, his love of communion overcame his fear, and he drank the Blood, spider and all. He did, of course, survive. His Memorial is November 26. https://catholicsaints.info/saint-conrad-of-constance/
Description: St. Agnes (purity) is one of seven women in the canon of the Mass with Cecilia, Felicity (happiness), Perpetua (steadfastness), Agatha (goodness), Lucy (light), and Anastasia (resurrection). The canon thereby represents various vocations and three important centers of Western Christianity: Carthage, Sicily and Rome. No saint was more revered in the early Church than this young girl who suffered persecution under the Emperor Diocletian and who, according to her 5th-century acta, was only 13-years-old when she died. The name Agnes in Greek means ‘chaste’ and in Latin signifies a ‘lamb’ (Saint Augustine, Sermon 274). Thus, she represents all that is pure and virtuous in womanhood.

She died in 968. Memorial: March 14th.
